FAQ - 💬❓ What is Puregon used for?👉 Puregon can be used to cause ovulation in women who have not responded to treatment with clomiphene citrate. Puregon can be used to bring about the development of multiple follicles in women undergoing assisted reproduction technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). ❓ Is Puregon better than Gonal-F?👉 Conclusions: Gonal-F (Follitropin-a) is associated with a potential stimulatory effect on ovaries. Puregon (Follitropin-b) was associated with a lower clinical pregnancy rate (PR). E2 level 5-7 days after stimulation can be used as an indicator of the success of IVF. ❓ How quickly does Puregon work?👉 In men, the usual dose is 150 IU given 3 times a week or 225 IU twice a week. Treatment is usually given for at least 3 to 4 months. It is usually given along with another medication, hCG. Response to this medication for men is determined by analysis of semen after 4 to 6 months of treatment. ❓ Does Puregon cause acne?👉 In males, Puregon can cause some side effects as well, including: Injection site reactions: redness, bruising, swelling, pain, itching. Headache. Acne and skin rashes. ❓ How quickly do follicles grow?👉 As follicles grow ~1.7 mm per day, follicle sizes presented in this study would be expected to be ~3ā4 mm smaller than comparable studies assessing follicular sizes on the day of oocyte retrieval (1, 24). ❓ Does Puregon stop ovulation?👉 Women: In women who do not ovulate and do not respond to treatment with clomid, Puregon can be used to cause ovulation. In women undergoing assisted reproduction techniques, including in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and other methods, Puregon can bring about the development of multiple follicles. ❓ Does Gonal F improve egg quality?👉 Gonal F stimulates the ovary to produce healthy eggs. It is most commonly used in conjunction with fertility treatments, especially IVF, to encourage women's ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle. ❓ How long do you take Gonal F for IVF?👉 If everything has gone to plan, the patient then starts daily injections of stimulation drugs, which are designed to stimulate follicle growth (e.g. Gonal-F/ Menopur). You will take these injections for 12 days, and may continue with the Buserelin too during this period. ❓ What should I avoid during IVF?👉 Avoid red meat, sugar, refined grains, and other highly processed foods. ❓ What is the best size of follicle to conceive?👉 Pregnancy was recorded as clinical pregnancy with fetal heart activity seen at 6- to 7-week transvaginal ultrasound. For both CC and letrozole, higher pregnancy rates were achieved when the leading follicles were in the 23 to 28 mm range. ❓ What are the side effects of puregon?👉 Side Effects of Puregon
